#File Location

Description
Whether you are using Xmind on desktop or mobile platforms, you have full control over where your data is stored, enhancing both convenience and security.

#Desktop

By default, Xmind saves files locally. You can specify the storage location for each mind map file, and Xmind will remember your last saved location for future use.

#Mobile (iOS)

To select a preferred storage location on iOS:

  1. open the Xmind app.
  2. Go to Settings and tap Storage.
  3. Choose your desired location.

#Mobile (Android)

Xmind on Android allows you to customize the default saving folder. You can select or create a new folder and set it as your default saving location.

To choose a saving folder:

  1. Open Xmind.
  2. Tap on SELECT FOLDER in the window that asks for folder permission access.
  3. Tap the folder icon to create a new folder.
  4. Enter a name for your folder and confirm by tapping OK.
  5. Tap USE THIS FOLDER followed by ALLOW to finalize your selection.

It is highly recommended to create a new folder specifically for your Xmind files to keep them organized.
